Porsche has the need for indoor speed, as the luxury car company broke the Guinness World Record for indoor land speed in its all-electric Taycan car.
Racer Leh Keen was the driver and crushed the previous record by 13.6 mph at 102.65 mph in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Wednesday, Porsche said in a news release. "I didn't look down at my speed so it came as a surprise and a relief that I'd beaten the record, and by such a margin. It was a rush! I'm thankful for Porsche for trusting my abilities and for their preparations and encouragement -- 102 mph inside a building. What was I thinking?" Leh said.
